Customer Testimonials
I like how positive and cheerful all the instructors are here. My kids look forward to going here every week. Thank you David, Jennifer, and team of Mathnasium of Almaden. You guys are the best!
Our daughter will be entering 5th grade and has always struggled with math. As a result, she has always disliked math. A couple of years ago, we regrettably had her enrolled in Kumon. Everything about Kumon was a constant battle - going to the sessions and especially the redundant homework problems. She had pages and pages of it. I honestly think it was a waste of money as our daughter didn't learn anything because they didn't teach her anything.
Ultimately we think it had a negative impact. After that awful experience, we decided to help her at home with websites recommended by the teachers that mirrored what was being taught in the classroom. Our daughter continued to struggle, especially on tests. We decided it was time for some real professional help. We were thinking of finding a tutor to come to our house, but that wouldn't really work with our random work schedules, sports activities, etc. After some research on Yelp, I decided to contact Mathnasium of Almaden. You can tell that the owners (David and Jennifer) are very involved in their business. This does make a real difference. The owners don't have an office in the back corner where they keep their doors closed. Instead, they have an office right at the heart of the learning center. We have experienced nothing but a professional and positive atmosphere at Mathnasium of Almaden - From the initial inquiry over the phone, to our initial meeting/math evaluation, to the tutoring sessions and instructors.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Mathnasium...the instructors are very approachable and our daughter is not afraid to ask questions. We truly feel our daughter is learning something. It is such a fun and welcoming environment. The flexible schedule works great with our busy schedules. They even have neat incentives for the kids and fun summer activities to keep the kids motivated to doing some math during summer break! Mathnasium is a win-win for us!
Ted seems to be more confident in his math skills.
My son is happy to come and do his work. He feels independent and motivated and enjoys the help of his tutors.
My daughter is so happy doing this program
Mathnasium has been a dream come true for my 11 year old. She has gone from having no confidence in math and sometimes crying...to having lots of confidence and loving math! I can’t say more about the wonderful experience we have had thus far. My 11 yr old looks forward and asks to go to Mathnasium! Thank You Mathnasium!!
My son was having problems with math so we decided to check out mathnasium. It's the best thing educationally we have done for him yet. He's learning so much and he much happier person because he's not struggling and feeling like he's lost. The evaluation was great and spot on. I highly recommend this mathnasium. The owners and staff are very helpful and kind.
Our guy started Mathnasium with little confidence in his math skills. He’s been attending for several months and we see improvement in his skills and scores. Most importantly, we see his confidence returning!
Great environment for my son ‘s growth and development! Thank you!
My guys are doing great here! All the math gaps are being filled, plus new math ideas like chaos theory are more approachable than before.
My daughter went from hating Math and crying to smiling and asking when she can go again. Also she no longer resists when I ask her to work on her math homework.
Priceless.! It also has boosted her confidence and she can see her self progressing as she masters each new lesson.
Thank you!

The confidence that has built up from my daughter realizing she can do math, that she just had missing information in her learning, that there was nothing wrong with her, has spilled over into many other areas of her life. So grateful!!!
It’s a wonderful place that makes learning fun. The tutors are fantastic and motivating! Also like that there are things that spice it up.. e.g., raffles, Sacred Heart Donation challenges, special nights.
Only wish that hours were longer on non school days or weeks.
My daughter was way behind Math but now she has improved a lot so Thank you Mathnasium for all your help.
Making Math a fun topic for kids to want to learn.
Everyone on the staff is great. Our daughter loves all the instructors and we get very good feedback on her progress.
My child is loving it and enjoys attending. She has learned a lot and feeling more confident .
Great nurturing atmosphere for studying and learning! Wonderful instructors!
Our daughter has loves her time at Mathnasium! I never thought she would look forward to Math. It is not just the prizes she can earn (which is very motivating) or the instructors who show a nice balance of aptitude and fun. It is all of it together that create a friendly teamwork atmosphere.
Mathnasium is a bustling tribe of honey bees. "We are all working on our Math together, it's just more fun that way."
Her smile shines with self confidence and encouragement ! Thank you Mathnasium!
Aria seems to enjoy going into Mathnasium sessions which is a huge plus. I am yet to see her progress in school since it has only been a few weeks since she started. But so far I am happy with her enthusiasm to going into Mathnasium :-)
Our son, Sean, has improved Math grade in his school since he's attending Mathnasium. The flexibility of the schedule fits well with my family as we're both working full time.
I had my older daughter go to Mathnasium and I feel it really helped her build a solid foundation. Now I have my younger daughter going and she feels very comfortable with the pace and the approach. As a parent I feel they always answer any questions I might have and help with figuring out the stufent’s weaknesses and help them become stronger with that content.
Our son just loves going to Mathnasium and telling me what he learned in each session. He looks forward to going and is encouraged to continue working by the incentives to earn more points and prizes. The instructors are great with kids and encourage the kids to learn more while presenting math in a way that keeps them intersted and excited about learning. Thank you!
The process takes time and that's why it is so great that my daughter loves going. She feels a sense of accomplishment with each step and the staff always makes her feel welcome. My daughter was feeling like being behind in math at school was because she wasn't intelligent and now she knows that isn't true. She has learned that she is totally able to grasp the math concepts when they are explained better and that she did not understand things before because she was missing information.
My son is really progressing , he had a free trial in another place and told me it felt more like a Homework center while at Mathnesium he is really learning the basics , and the assessment helped a lot in identifying his points of weakness and working on it .
Our expierence with Mathnasium has been wonderdul! Our daughter went up in math and she learned many new techniques she can apply in math. I would recommend them.
